They are offering a free 25 download trial subscription over on their website. If you click this link, donewaiting.com gets a couple bucks that we go into bandwidth, site growth, cocaine, etc., even if you don't become a montly member.

so, it's possible that we've discussed this before, but what kind of money do local artists make from emusic downloads? And how does it compare to the profits from selling actual CDs? would I be acting in a less supportive way if I were to get my local tunes from the internet instead of the merch table?

but bands do make less money than if you buy it from, say, iTunes or directly from a merch table....

even if one factors in the cost of physical media manufacture, etc? huh.

Also, since this is my first paying month, does anyone know if your unused downloads roll over into the next month, or do you lose them?

EDIT: never mind, answered my own question:

A: Our subscription program is simple. For each 30 day period you receive a fixed number of downloads for one low price. Every 30 days your account is refreshed with the appropriate number of downloads. Downloads do not rollover from one period to the next.

so it's a new month, and i still don't have any more downloads. Does it go from the date that you enrolled and not the beginning of the calendar month? if so, that kinda sucks, because it means I paid for a month I didn't know I had and so I didn't use the downloads.

If you download the new IE7 (which sucks) you cant download from emusic right now, but they still charge you. I tried to download The Saddies Rat Fink today. 26 SONGS. Their solution is turn off their download manager and download manually. 26 songs? Fuck that. Their was no warning anywhere. Here is the canned response.
